Worst airline someone can travel from. Travelled from frontier airlines more than 15 times and not a single time it didn’t get delayed/cancelled and they do this right before boarding time so have to wait at the airport for hours every time. Even my connecting flights we missed due to this and left me stranded at the airport at night.

I had a flight on 04/07 from DFW to Dulles, with 2 seniors above 80 years old with medical conditions. The lady boarding passengers was very impolite and aggressive and ignored my questions and intentionally made us check all the 5 bags and instead of helping us made us stay longer in the line. She had attitude and was very rude and unprofessional.

2) Day off departure 3:50 pm -----> delayed to 10 pm. That is a 6hour 10 min delay! They claim this was due to crew scheduling. This is not a last-minute issue....this is poor planning.
3) Day of adjusted departure of 10pm----delayed to leave the next morning at 6 am.
No apology, just a $10 food voucher.... can't even get a bag of chips at the airport for $10.... It's embarrassing. These types of delays is why they are ranked among the worst airline around, not surprised they have just over 1 star. I would give them zero stars if that was an option.

It is Easter morning and I am missing the holiday with my two children for the first time in their lives because of your staff. Yesterday, April 4, 2026 I originally had a flight to Houston at 11:30AM. Houston was the layover to my final destination of Atlanta. At 10AM I was told that the first flight was delayed an hour which was going to cause me to miss the second flight. Myself and two other people approached the gate to resolve the issue and was told that the only option is a direct flight to Atlanta that doesn’t leave until 10PM.
I was immediately irritated because I had been there since 8AM and 10PM is a long time to wait. I respectfully asked if they could ask the flight in Houston to just hold off since we would be getting there late by 2 minutes. The very rude woman at the desk replied “if it was more of you but it’s just 3 of you.” So the three of us don’t matter? Obviously what I’m asking can be done, but because it’s 3 of us we don’t have the option to try to make our flight that was inconvenienced because of your company! Truly disgusting. I was told my other option was to take the flight and “see if they can help you.” While I understand that things happen out of employee’s control, the attitude and the lack of empathy is what made the situation worse. However, that was not even the worst of it all.
I sat in the airport a total of 12 hours just to get banned from boarding my flight. I came with a backpack that I always take with me, that fits under the seat, a personal item. I did not have a purse or anything else. The backpack was all I had, but being at the airport so long I had purchased a charger, water and food so I was carrying that plastic bag with my personal item as we were boarding. I was told to step aside to speak to someone about my bag. Not at the counter, or outside of the boarding area, I was standing at the entrance of the boarding area.
After standing there several minutes and no one approached me I thought maybe she wasn’t talking to me. After all, I have never had a problem with this bag. I start walking towards the ramp and a lady asked me to come back. I explained to her what I just explained to you and she said that my plastic bag of food counts as my personal item so I have to pay $99 for my backpack. I’m flustered because I fly allllll the time and every time I’m in the airport I get water and snacks and take them with me. Not one person on 100s of trips have ever approached me about that bag! The lady already told me I had to pay, but continues to make me weigh it.
As I’m weighing it, it now doesn’t fit because I put the bag of snacks there. After she yelled for the 10th time “it’s $99!” I said, fine, here is my card!! After I said that she says, “you’re being loud and disrespectful so I’m not letting you on!” I never once raised my voice or was rude. She thought I didn’t have any money and when I did she created another problem. I pleaded with her to let me on because I had been at the airport 12 hours and I needed to get home to my children! She wouldn’t even look up from her phone. I pulled out my phone to text my babysitter that I might not be coming home and she goes “I was about to let you on but you’re secretly recording me!” I picked up my phone IMMEDIATELY to show her my text thread and she continued to tell them to close the door.
Defeated and extremely hurt I go down to the front desk at terminal one and Ishmael was even worse than her. He refused to listen, he talked over me and told me I would have to pay for another flight! I informed him I would now have to pay for another Uber and a hotel so I was not paying for a new flight for their actions. He throws a card at me to call customer service. He stood there listening as I spoke to customer service actively speaking as I’m talking, being combative saying things like “keep that same energy!” I expressed to the customer service representative that I felt I was being racially targeted because I had done nothing to him or the lady upstairs. After I said that a hit dog sure started to holler and he called security on me. When security came I spoke in my same tone and explained the situation. He apologized and explained that I was being asked to leave. I respectfully did as I was asked, no questions.
This was the absolute WORST traveling experience that I have ever encountered and I will be filing a lawsuit for every extra dollar I had to spend on extra hotels and ubers. I am experiencing extreme ptsd sitting in an airport on Easter away from my children and I will not stop contacting you all and everyone I can until all 3 of those agents are held accountable!!
It’s disgusting because as I am actively speaking out on social media everyone is saying the same thing, “Frontier has horrible customer service!” That’s what you want to be known for? As a business that reputation is okay? Surprisingly I would have never known about your customer service before yesterday because I always get to the airport and board my flights without any dialogue with staff or issues. I have never had an issue like this. Everyone else can accept what you did to them, but I refuse!!! This is not the last you will hear from me and I mean that with all my heart.

The Frontier Airlines GoWild Pass is a complete SCAM and the company should automatically offer all customers who paid for it a refund. I was on the phone with a Frontier Airlines customer service representative for over an hour, trying to find literally ANY flights from ANY city that were included/covered by the Go Wild Pass, and could not find anything at all.
I had the same experience over the last 5 months that I had the pass and could never find any flights - even from the largest airports. The horrible thing is that there were in fact plenty of flights offered by Frontier at these airports, but none of them were covered/included with the Go Wild Pass (even on non black-out days). So, in order to get the flights you wanted, you had to pay full price - rendering the Go Wild Pass completely useless and a waste of money.
It took me several weeks of calling customer service to actually get a customer service agent to answer (no one ever called me back when I chose that option), and even then - the agent tried to convince me that I was "doing it wrong". After the Frontier Airlines agent tried to find several Go Wild Pass flights from numerous random airports in different states (not the ones I was trying to fly from), she finally realized that no flights were ever available for the Go Wild Pass, and reluctantly offered me the refund of the pass. I know several Frontier Airlines customers that have had the same experience, and Frontier makes it very difficult to contact them and to eventually try to get the pass refunded.

This has been the worst experience of my life when it comes to flying. I am grieving and just trying to make it to my aunt's funeral which is tomorrow. I had a flight that was scheduled to fly out of Charlotte, North Carolina at 1:46 PM and was set to arrive in Orlando at 3:44 PM when I arrived at the airport in Charlotte, I was told that my flight had been canceled. I nearly had a nervous breakdown. They were able to get me onto another flight, but that flight wasn’t leaving for a couple hours later but what choice did I have. The flight that they put me on was to come to Philadelphia and would be a layover for four hours and then from there go to Orlando allowing me to get there at 1 o’clock in the morning. The service starts at 11 in the morning now I’m sitting here in Philadelphia a place unfamiliar to me with my child for hours just to receive a text to tell me that now that this flight has been delayed, the absolute worst experience in flying in my life.
This will be a first and the last time that I will ever fly this airline and I will make sure that I’m going to tell anyone that has ears to hear. Don’t let the low price lure you in. Just remember you get what you pay for and this is seriously the worse airline I have ever flown on in all of my 40+ years of flying. I’ve never had a more terrible experience. I should be surrounded by family, comforting, one another, dealing with this great loss to our family but instead, I am sitting in a unfamiliar city of Philadelphia with my child bawling my eyes out because the way things are going all the hours that I’ve been waiting chances are, I will get no closure. I will get no final goodbye all because I trusted the wrong airline and anybody that’s reading this if you have somewhere very important to be don’t trust it don’t trust it with this airline…

One of the worst airline experiences I’ve had with Frontier Airlines. Our 10:50 PM flight was delayed to an estimated 11:45 PM—but staff confirmed the crew hadn’t even arrived. So that “estimate” meant absolutely nothing. We were left with no real departure time, just waiting with zero clarity, communication, or accountability. Cheap flights should not mean poor communication, disorganization, and complete disregard for passengers’ time and money. To make matters worse, we paid extra for priority boarding (Group 4), but after calling Groups 1, 2, and 3, they proceeded to board all remaining groups at once, completely defeating the purpose of paying for priority.
And unlike most airlines, there wasn’t even a basic complimentary service offered, not even water on a short 2-hour flight. I’m used to at least minimal service like water, juice, coffee, or a small snack, and the complete absence of it was very noticeable. Seats are very uncomfortable. This experience was extremely frustrating and unacceptable. Definitely not flying with them again, and I would strongly think twice before recommending it to anyone.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. DO NOT FLY WITH THIS AIRLINE!!! MY FLIGHT WAS FOR 12:15PM Saturday, April 4, 2026. Get to the airport a 5am to avoid the line. No one at the service desk for Frontier. We asked someone and they told us they get here at 9:30am. We asked him about our flight and he said that flight is delayed until 9:00PM. What? Called customer service and they said we emailed you about this. We asked what is the email address because we never received any notification. Unbelievable they had someone else email not ours. Told us for our inconvenience they can give us a $25 voucher. Are you kidding me. We missed a whole day in Puerto Rico. They increase to $150 nothing else. TERRIBLE.

Frontier customer service is way below par. I purchased a ticket from them for my family member, but they cancel out the ticket without any notification. My family member didn’t realize what had happened until she drove over 50 miles to the airport, only to be told that her flight had been cancelled. A text/email would have been appropriate. Also, no effort to put her on another flight or refund her money!! Calling them is just a waste of time- their robot pick the phone and reroute your call to so many departments then hang up on you. I kind of wonder how this company has been able to stay in business with this sort of horrible service!!

I will never fly Frontier again. Pilots and crew were great. No problems there. They even kicked a drunk couple off a flight, which caused the whole plan to applaud. But, they are the masters of hidden fees. The initial price seemed great. Off to a good start. Then the baggage fees. You pay no matter what, even for a carry-on. But, the weight limit on your checked bag is 40lbs, not the usual 50lbs I experience everywhere else. And if you want to select your own seat, you're again paying no matter what. You can choose the worst seat on the flight and you'll still be paying for it. If they'd just include some of these costs in the overall price they display at the beginning, I'd have a lot more respect for them. But, they don't, and I'll never use them again.

Frontier Airlines policy don't let you used over head Storage for your personal items (small 2lb bag). Flight attendant call me loud "you don't pay for it you can't used." I inform flight attendant I have knee surgery and is difficult to keep my bag in front of my feet and the Over head Storage was 50% empty. Other passenger has identical experience. They call them very loud ''YOU DON'T PAY FOR IT YOU CAN'T USED.'' They want you to feel guilty in front of other passengers. Horrible experience how Frontier train their staff "bad attitudes," a lack of empathy, or a total disregard for the customers. Frontier have hundreds different ways to resolve this problem but Frontier train flight attendant to make psychology pressure on passengers.

I experienced a highly unsatisfactory travel experience with FRONTIER airline, characterized by significant delays and inconsistent baggage policies. My initial flight encountered a six-hour delay, and my carry-on luggage was OK to take with me from Detroit. Upon my return journey from Mexico, I was informed that I could not bring the same carry-on bag with me, The airline representative stated that different rules apply to flights originating from Mexico. Consequently, I was compelled to check the bag and incurred a charge of $179.00; otherwise, my carry-on would have been left behind. Furthermore, my return flight was also delayed by 1 hour and 30 minutes. My attempts to resolve these issues with customer service were unsuccessful, as they demonstrated a lack of concern. I find these practices to be unacceptable and believe the airline is engaging in deceptive tactics regarding carry-on baggage.

I rarely write reviews like this, but what I experienced with Frontier Airlines was beyond unacceptable—it was infuriating. I booked a red-eye flight from Las Vegas to Cleveland (departing around 11:59 PM on March 27) specifically to get home for my mother’s funeral. This was not a casual trip—it was deeply personal and time-sensitive. Frontier offered a direct flight that fit perfectly, and I trusted them to get me there.
After checking out of my hotel and heading to the airport, I received an email around 7:00 PM that the flight was canceled. Not delayed. Not rebooked. No attempt to provide an alternative that same night—just canceled. Their only “solution” was a refund or flight credit. A flight credit? Why would I ever choose Frontier again after this experience?
Because of their failure, I was forced to scramble at the last minute:
• $325 for an unexpected hotel stay in Las Vegas• $145 for a non-refundable hotel in Cleveland I couldn’t use
• $290 for a last-minute replacement flight the next day
And worst of all—I missed my mother’s funeral. Let that sink in. Because Frontier couldn’t fulfill a basic commitment—getting a passenger from point A to point B—I missed saying goodbye to my 84-year-old mother. To make matters worse, there was no meaningful customer support. No live assistance. No accountability—just an automated message and a dead end.
Before posting this review, I even tried contacting their customer service chat. There was no live agent available. Eventually, they cited “weather” as the reason for the cancellation—yet no other airlines appeared to be impacted that night. When I asked for specifics, such as the exact METAR or operational restriction that directly affected this flight (not vague upstream or network issues), I received no response. The did offer me a $15 voucher, YAHOO, I declined it! What an insult!
The reality is, Frontier appears to operate so lean that any disruption earlier in the day can cascade into late-night cancellations, leaving flights like mine—and passengers like me—completely stranded. Because I trusted Frontier Airlines, I incurred hundreds of dollars in unexpected expenses and missed one of the most important moments of my life. This was my first experience flying Frontier—and it will absolutely be my last. If you’re considering flying Frontier, understand this: when things go wrong, you are completely on your own.

First and last time I will fly with Frontier “after traveling with 11 children with personal school book bags I was charged 100 dollar fee for every bag." Coming back I was charged 495. To top it off the list my suit case with all my clothes, jewelry and my father ashes in the luggage. It’s been two weeks and they still have not found my luggage. I asked them for a small compensation because I been in the same clothes since arriving to New York. They told me to go buy clothes and the will repay me in 7 weeks. I explained I really needed my father's ashes and they completely bypassed my request. Never again. And the customer service sucks!

I had an absolutely frustrating experience with Frontier Airlines on my recent trip to Orlando, Florida. My flight was scheduled for 11:30 a.m., and I arrived at the airport at 10:15 a.m. I had checked in online and paid for my luggage in advance, yet Frontier refused to check my luggage because the gate for luggage check-in was already closed at 10:30 a.m.—even though boarding was not until 11:00 a.m. They told me it was my fault for not arriving “an hour early,” despite me being there well before the flight. I called Frontier customer service to explain what happened. They suggested I could try a flight from LaGuardia, which required me to spend $160 more on transportation, including Lyft rides, to get to a completely different airport. They assured me that my situation was noted and I would be able to check in. When I arrived at LaGuardia, the gate was closed again, and I was unable to check in or drop my luggage.
I spent another $300 on Lyft rides, and Frontier then informed me that I could only fly the next day—and that my $700+ Frontier credit was no longer valid because, in their words, I had “missed two flights.” I was completely stunned to learn that I had effectively lost over $1,000: $700 in credits for flights I had paid for and $300 on transportation that they instructed me to take. Meanwhile, United Airlines stepped in and handled everything professionally. They were sympathetic, paid for my taxi back to Newark Airport, and gave me a discounted flight, allowing me to finally travel to Florida with my 10-year-old daughter. This entire experience was extremely stressful, costly, and unnecessary. Frontier’s lack of clear policies, poor communication, and inflexible procedures caused me to lose significant money and spend hours in a stressful, confusing situation at the airport. I cannot recommend flying with Frontier Airlines.

Where do I begin. I am a 90% disabled Army veteran who booked a surprise proposal trip to Disney World through American Forces Travel. Frontier managed to ruin nearly every aspect of it. Outbound flight was delayed due to their own operational failure, diverted to Atlanta, then we were held on the plane for 2 hours. Told our replacement flight would leave Atlanta at 1pm the next day. Showed up to the gate, no plane, no staff, nothing. Why? Because Frontier flew that plane to Columbus first to pick up a fresh load of passengers while we sat at an empty gate. FlightAware confirmed it. Had to borrow money from my dad, pool funds with my fiancee, pay $575 for an emergency rental to drive from Atlanta to Orlando, another $593 for a replacement rental in Florida, $100 for a motel, and a taxi. Over $1,400 in unplanned expenses. Our resort reservation had been cancelled by the time we got there.
On the flight home, delayed again due to maintenance, four conflicting gate notifications in one morning, three different gates before 8am. Then they lost our bag at Columbus and five airport staff turned us away before we found a Frontier employee ourselves. My fiancee said yes at Cinderella’s Castle despite all of this. Frontier did everything in their power to prevent us from even getting there.

This review is regarding the Austin South Terminal location. Arrived ~1.5 hrs before flight time and there was a long line. By the time I got to the front desk, it was ~1hr and 10 mins before departure and I had a bag to check in and traveling with my service animal. I was asked multiple questions regarding my animal as it reacted to a dog that had gotten too close [my dog was recently attacked]. The agent texted their supervisor to come approve my dog for boarding. After the manager came and discussed the situation, it was less than an hour before departure. Since I was not checked in, the system was closed and they simply stated I could not get on the flight. I stated that I arrived before the cutoff time and the agent disagreed, referencing the text they sent to their manager requesting support regarding my service animal.
Upon checking and seeing the time, the agent apologized, stating they assumed I was boarding a different flight and had not checked my ticket when I handed it to them as I approached the desk. They stated calling customer service was the only way I could get assistance. Very frustrated, I respectfully requested to ensure they made appropriate documentation stating they made a mistake and that I was at the desk before the cutoff time. Needless to say with the 1 star review, they lied about the time I arrived documenting I was late and that I arrived at the time after speaking with the manager. Customer service and the front desk do not speak to each other and they were unable to assist me, stating they had to rely on the agent's documentation, I would not get a refund, and would need to purchase another ticket.
I returned to the desk, spoke to two managers, and requested they check the text that the agent sent to the manager as that is my time of arrival. The agent lied and stated that text was regarding 'something else.' I then asked to check the camera pointing right at the desk, but unfortunately it is the city's property and they do not have access. I sincerely asked if they were okay with lying and having people lose their money, time, and effort.
I forgot to mention this was a 12.19 flight to go home for the holidays, pretty heartless. Luckily, my credit card company was able to reimburse my ticket based on my word [shoutout Chase]. I lost an entire day, still had to pay for two extra Uber rides to a far airport terminal, and had to purchase an expensive replacement ticket to go home for the holidays. It's not a great airline/experience to begin with, but it is an affordable option. Sharing this as caution as there are some dishonest employees and if you face any issues, it is difficult to get support, if any.

NEVER FLY FRONTIER. If it were possible to give zero stars or even negative stars, I would. During the government shutdown, when TSA agents aren’t being paid, TSA lines are hour long. It is recommended that you get to the airport several hours prior to your flight. However, Frontier Airlines will not let you check in any sooner than two hours. If you try to check in more than two hours before, you will not be allowed to. So if TSA lines are three hours long, there’s no reason even to show up at the airport cause you’ll never make your flight. Customer service is absolutely horrible.

We missed our flight due to the airport and they were less than helpful. I already had to pay $ 200 for a tiny carry on and a small backpack!! Then had to pay to get a new flight after waiting over two hours in a line!!! They should be more accommodating.

My experience with Frontier was honestly one of the worst I’ve ever had with an airline. Customer service was completely unreachable calls went unanswered no matter how many times I tried, leaving me with zero support when I needed help the most. On top of that, the check in process was confusing and frustrating because we weren’t able to check in when we were told to, with no clear explanation or assistance available. When I tried to request a refund despite clearly being eligible it felt like they intentionally made it difficult, refusing to process it without any proper justification.
To make matters worse, the staff at the check-in counter were unprofessional, openly gossiping and chatting among themselves in front of customers instead of helping people who were waiting. Overall, the lack of communication, poor service, and unprofessional behavior made this a really disappointing and stressful experience.

The flight #87 out of Cancun with Frontier Airlines is the worst experience I have had in the last 77 years!! This is saying a lot since I'm a retired disabled veteran who served in Vietnam, Desert Storm and Just Cause. We checked in at the gate then we had to take a bus ride to the freight terminal on the other side of the airport due to problems they wouldn't tell us. The bus ran a couple of trips with over 70 people standing up and was very crowded, hot, uncomfortable and hard to breathe. It felt like we were a herd of cattle being rounded up for salutes. We were all pressed together touching each other and they were trying to squeeze additional people in the bus. We arrived at the plane and there was a stair ramp with about 30 steps straight up to the door of the plane to load. We had to climb the steps carrying our own carry on bags.
With all of us standing there waiting in a long line to board on the hot tarmac, the temp was extremely hot and the smell of the jet fuel and the carbon monoxide was gaging us. This was a major chore also for the senior and elderly with no assistance from anyone. We paid extra for the upgrade to seats 5A and C going down and 6A and C returning. We were the last two to be seated on the plane and the overhead compartments were taken by the flight crew and my bag was taken to area seat 20. which was 14 rows to the rear of the plane.
I was informed by the ** male flight attendant that when the plane lands I would have to go and retrieve my bag in the opposite direction of de-boarding! I was informed by the flight attendant that their bags had priority over mine and by LAW stated their bags had to be there in bin 5 and 6 even though I had paid for those compartments. The entire flight was a major joke and I will never fly Frontier Airlines again.

I have never written a review before until being absolutely compelled to after experiencing this horrendous airline. It started out with me talking to the Frontier pilot near the terminal. Frontier flew him in from another airline, in another city because they had no pilot, the flight was delayed 5 hours because they needed a copilot and someone on the last flight had vomited in their seat. The seats are child size, the restrooms are filthy. My shoe literally almost came off my foot because of the sticky urine on the floor.
I was foolishly baited into a "cheap airline" then had to pay extra money 50.00 per traveler because I'm not tech savvy and could not figure out the website. Yes, They charged 50.00 to print a ticket. Any carryon slightly larger than a purse they charge you for. I will never, ever go on this airline and am mad at myself for doing it. Btw both the airports that I traveled to put Frontier as far away as possible. I guess even the airports are like yuck with them. So be prepared to walk if you travel with them.

Terrible all the way around. We chose Frontier since it was the only direct flight to our destination and was a good price. However, they charge extra for everything. They charge for carry ones and any checked bags. Their checked bag limit is 40lbs. If it is over they charge $100, with a max of 50lbs. For both flights they took off late. The worst part is waiting 2 plus hours for checked bags! Apparently this is a normal thing for Frontier. No service during the flight...not even water.

I booked a flight from Frontier Airlines. Departure is from Denver to Miami with a connecting flight to ORD, Chicago. It was delayed and the schedule was moved at least 3-4 times. I was not able to get on my connecting flight and they did nit help me book a flight to Chicago when it was not my fault the flight was delayed. I had to shell out money again so I can book a flight out of Miami. My luggage did not arrive in Chicago, so I filed a claim at the baggage agent at O'Hare International airport. I got an email saying my bag was found and already in transit, but I have not received any updates after that.

If I could give a "0," I would. My flight was cancelled at the last minute on another airline due to storms. I did a quick search to see if I could get a flight on another airline and still reach my destination the same day. Frontier website had vacancy on a flight departing in a few hours and would arrive at almost the same time as the original. win win... or so I thought. After confirming and purchasing the tickets (3 tickets for the family, A $2100+), the confirmation then stated the flight would arrive the following day! I cancelled immediately and rechecked the website.
The information on the search still showed arriving same day. I contacted customer support 3 times and spoke to 3 representatives (a noisy call center clearly in another country) to no avail. They would not refund my money. I asked for supervisors, to no avail. I asked for options and was shut down. They basically just ROBBED me of $2190.

On January 26th, 2026 I boarded a plane from Chicago (MDW) to Orlando (MCO). I was traveling with a puppy. Followed all guidelines and paid extra accommodations, to travel comfortably with my pet. We were on the plane delayed for maintenance. The first flight attendant who is supposed to welcomes us on the plane was cold and rude from the start. I sat with my dog (window seat). I was anxious of her coming to check and see if the pup was settled. My puppy started to get anxious and so did I. The puppy ended going to the bathroom in the carrier. I go to the back of the plane to clean the puppy. I go back to my seat, the two women sitting next to me take the pup. In order for me to go back and clean the carrier.
To my surprise the same flight attendant, had the girl who checks you in come and knock on the bathroom door. To my surprise tells me, I will not be able to fly with them. I was taken aback shocked, nervous and humiliated. When I got to my row, the two women I was sitting with took my number in case I needed them as witnesses to being kicked out and treated poorly.

My recent Frontier Airlines flight from Dallas to Indianapolis was hands down one of the worst travel experiences of my life. I have been flying for as long as I can remember, and I have never encountered service this unbelievably bad. The flight attendant had zero professionalism and absolutely no understanding of how to treat paying customers. She was obnoxiously rude, spoke to passengers with open irritation, and acted as if doing her job was a personal inconvenience. What was even more shocking was how disrespectful she was toward her own colleagues. The attitude, the tone, the eye-rolling — it was constant and completely unnecessary.
It was embarrassing to watch and incredibly uncomfortable to sit through. Instead of creating a calm and safe environment, she made the entire cabin tense. Basic courtesy should not be too much to expect, yet on this flight it seemed nonexistent. This was not just “bad service” — it was outright hostile and unprofessional. Frontier should seriously reevaluate who they put in customer-facing positions, because this experience was a complete disgrace. It truly is a shame, nor do I mean to be too blunt but I have never seen service as such. Aside from this instance Frontier has always been accommodating so it’s unfortunate to see this.

It was now 1 AM and with our three very little kids, it was a chaotic morning. My husband called and they said they could fly us out in two days, but refused to pay for the hotels. Refused to refund us. This all caused us to spend more than 1500$ on new flights on a separate airline getting us back the next morning. The second we got back we called customer service to attempt to get them to refund us. They said 10$/person, which would go out to 50$, less than a single person's ticket. The worst part is the 50$ would go to Frontier money vouchers, we could only spend on them. Will never be flying them again. Do not recommend.

Hello! I’m very proud of you for being an airline for as long as you have. Unfortunately I have some bad news: I think you should stop being an airline. It’s not for any reason other than you are bad at being an airline. I was trying to fly from Des Moines to Los Angeles today and you guys really shit the bed. Just full-on metaphorical diarrhea all over the metaphorical bed.
Phase 1 of your plan to get me to Los Angeles was to fly me to Denver. This phase went fine! But one out of two phases being successful is 50%, which is unfortunately an F. You see, upon boarding my flight from Denver to LAX, we were told “hey, there’s been a whoopsie, this flight is canceled. please leave the airplane! We will not be taking questions at this time!” “Well dang it!” I exclaimed, “I’m sure they have a good reason. They’ve been an airline for 30 years. Surely all that experience means they’re one of the best in the biz”. Imagine my shock when I learned, and I say this with a heavy heart, that Frontier is in fact NOT the best in the biz.
Upon leaving the airplane, we were told not to ask questions but to go to customer service. Me being near the back of the airplane meant that I was also near the back of this very long line for customer service. Think of the line for the Harry Potter ride at Universal, but somehow longer and without magic. Oh! And everyone around you is pissed off. That’s a key to the vibe I’m painting here. After being in line for an hour, a lady in a Frontier outfit starts handing out cards and telling us that if we want a refund and don’t want to wait in line, we can go ahead and scan a QR code on the card and get a refund that way. At this point I’m not sure if I want a refund or to rebook my flight because I have zero information to go off of. I am simply a baby bird waiting to be told where to fly.
I scanned the code and notice it leads to a form to “request” a refund. Kind of implying that this refund isn’t a sure thing. I laughed to myself and said “oh heck. I’m sure the fine folks at Frontier will help me at the front of the line. They’ve been doing this for 30 years! I bet they’ve got situations like this down to a science! I’ll just wait patiently.” I also asked the woman handing out the cards if she knew why the flight was canceled. She told me it was because “weather”. Honestly had she gotten any more specific it would have broken my fragile brain.
A little later, another customer leaves the front of the line and tells us that the real reason the airplane was canceled was because the crew that was supposed to man it was on another delayed flight and something something something, they’re not here. They had an oopsie and forgot their crew is what I’m saying. Imagine my shock… SHOCK…. When I learned that the weather excuse was just a ruse. After a bit of time, a manager walks out and addresses the line in a cadence that if I had to name it, would be “teacher addresses classroom of troubled children going apeshit”. He tells us, sorry, he yells at us, “I only want to say this one more time! Because this was an uncontrollable situation, we will not be offering vouchers for hotels or food!” This man then slipped back into his office where he presumably bathed in a pool of children’s tears.
After 2.5 hours I was finally at the front of the line! I say “hello there. I was on an airplane, one of the ones with ‘Frontier’ on the side of it, and then they made everyone get off the airplane. Now USUALLY when this happens, the airplane has gone into the sky for a period of time, and the airport I exit the plane into is an entirely different airport. The darndest thing happened though: I’m still in the Denver airport. Now, my home is in Los Angeles. Could you perhaps help me get to Los Angeles? I would appreciate it very much”.
She says the next flight to Los Angeles is in two days' time. I ask if she can perhaps process a refund then. She hands me the same card the other person handed us when we were in line earlier, presumably days if not years ago. I ask “hey now, is there any chance you could just process a refund here, in your computer? Is there a refund button?” And she says, and I’ll never forget this, she says “no.”
Not wanting to fill out an online form that likely will take 5 to 7 business months to process a refund, I say to her “I actually saw quite a few airplanes outside that say ‘Frontier’ on them. Is it possible that one of them is going to another city where I could get on ANOTHER airplane that could take me to my home in Los Angeles?” She types on her computer and says “Oh! It looks like you were automatically booked on a flight that flies through Phoenix and will get you into LA at 7 AM”. This kind of implies, that all the time I waited in line was a complete waste of time! Ha! What a fun prank Frontier has pulled. Truly laughter is the best medicine. So off I go the gate where a flight at 11:30 PM will be going to Phoenix. The entire time on my way there I was pointing my thumb at myself saying to passersby “THIS guy is getting on an airplane”.
Now, while I know that Frontier normally bats 1000 in terms of getting everything right. I decided I’d like to make absolutely sure that this airplane was indeed expecting me. “Hello!” I said to the gate agent, “I was on the flight that got canceled because the crew mysteriously disappeared. I was told that I was put on this flight but could you possibly doublecheck?” She says, and this is wild, that I am actually NOT on this flight to phoenix. I asked her if there’s still room on this flight. She responds that yes. There is. A bunch actually. So I say “could you then possibly just…. Put me on this flight? I truly would like to be able to feed my dog tomorrow. Without food she tends to die.” She tells me she actually doesn’t have the access to put me on the flight but if I go over to customer service they’ll take care of me and make everything as right as rain.
At this point it’s starting to dawn on me that this experience… is bad. Is Frontier actually not a good airline? Are they in fact the worst one? Anyway, off I go back to customer service, and wouldn’t ya know it, the line is long again. Now while I’d like to say “excuse me, I waited in line earlier and there was some misunderstanding, I’d like to go to the front again now”, I also like my face to remain unpunched, so to the end of the line I go.
When I get to the front a second time (I can’t stress enough that I waited in this line two times) I say “hello! I was on the flight where the crew members were mysteriously raptured, like in the book of Revelation. I was told that I was automatically rebooked to an airplane to Phoenix tonight, where I’ll be getting on another airplane to LAX tomorrow. But the gate agent said I’m actually NOT on that flight. Could you possibly provide me with much needed clarity?” She tells me it’s because it’s too early to check in for my airplane ride. I say the flight leaves in an hour. Are you like…. Sure about that? And she tells me, “You’re actually on the flight to Phoenix that leaves tomorrow at 11:30”.
I gave my chin a good scratching while I had myself a vigorous think session. Then I exclaimed “So…. And I don’t know if you’re aware, but there’s an airplane that leaves at that time but tonight instead of tomorrow night. I also have it on good authority that there’s still room on this airplane for passengers. Could you possibly move me to that one so I don’t have to wait 24 hours in a city where I don’t know a soul?” And she says, and I’ll always remember this, she says “oh. Sure.” And prints me out a boarding pass. I now have a path home! All I had to do was get on a plane in Denver, get off that plane while still in Denver, wait in the customer service line (twice) and then fly through the city of Phoenix, a city I was not planning on visiting today.
You may be thinking “this guy sure has a lot of time on his hands to write all this” and to that I say a very fair point! The reason I had all this time, oodles and oodles of the stuff, is because that 11:30 flight to Phoenix has been delayed by 2 hours for “mechanical reasons”. I shan’t be leaving Denver until at least 1:30AM. Will the airplane leave at that time? Will the airplane in Phoenix safely transport me to the city of angels or has Frontier turned me into a wandering vagabond, destined to go from airplane to airplane like some kind of 21st century Sisyphus? Who’s to say. All I know is that I think it’s time to hang up your hat Frontier. At this point I assume the planes are put together with Silly Putty and Lego bricks. You had a good run, but at this point you’re a really really really really (I’m gonna need you to imagine I put 10,000 more “really’s” here) bad airline. Godspeed in your further endeavors.

If you could give a company minus Stars Frontier would be the one to earn those. I went from 3 tickets at $575 to over $1,100. I decided we should take a checked bag. They charged me $138 round trip. The bag was 4 1/2 pounds over weight. They charged an additional $100 PER WAY. Would have cost less to check another 40 lb bag. So $338 round trip for 1 bag. We had NO issue with our carry ons for the flight out. All of a sudden on the way back home we get a snotty, rude woman that eats & breathes company policy & wants to.meaaure carry ons. A bag that was just fine 1 way now is costing my friend another $100. Need a card cuz dont take cash. So now cost me the $100 cuz friend doesn't have a card.
Now let's move to the seating. Seems reasonable to me that if a person books a flight for themself & 2 other people that its safe to say they are traveling together. Tell me...just how many braincells does it take to assume that & seat them together? Apparently more then any1 that works for Frontier has cuz every flight they had all 3 of us scattered thru out the plane. And to change ur seat is $30 per passenger. Maybe not so much lack of brains as much as pure greed & lack of customer concern. For the most part the staff was friendly. But when you did run across a nasty 1 they definitely made up for it. Cuz they were nasty to the core.
All of these extra charges are common practice. Just talk to the person next to you & most likely gonna hear the same stories. So depending on how many people they stick it to on each flight I'd say they are making bank. This Airline was definitely a one and done for myself and my friends.

He repeatedly insisted that I do it, that he could not remove the $99 change fee (which was a lie), there was no one else I could talk to, and that if I didn't like it I should hang up. I called back and got someone much nicer who was willing to waive the change fee, which I appreciated. However, I still spent much more and lost much more time than I would have had I just went with another airline instead which I will be sure to do in the future.

It was not just us, there were multiple people connecting to Miami, Raleigh, Orlando that have missed their flight as well due to the poor communication that Frontier has.
We have been on other airlines where if it was delayed, they would at least communicate to the connecting flights that there are passengers coming. Because of this inconvenience, we had to stay overnight in Atlanta and fly to Orlando in the morning and pay out of our pocket for a rental car just to get to Tampa.

Wish there was a zero-star option. I flew with a personal-item sized bag that I have used repeatedly with no issues. On 12/30/2025 I was flying from Las Vegas to Dallas with this bag. EVERY passenger who did not pay for a carryon bag and only had a personal item was forced to wait in a long line to put their bag into the bag checker. All the while, someone would intermittently announce that the door was going to be closed for the flight we were all boarding. Everyone was stressed; people were trying to rearrange things in their bags.
One older man tried to point out that another passenger was boarding with a bag identical to his as a personal item and the employees completely ignored him until, with no other option, he paid when he should not have had to. The person he had pointed out had a carryon as well as that identical bag as their personal item and those passengers did not have to check any bag sizes. So that poor old man just paid like we all did.
On the flight to Las Vegas from Dallas, I flew with this same bag packed in the same manner on Spirit (yes, Spirit) and it fit into their bag checker. Here's the thing: on the website, Frontier and Spirit cite the same dimension requirements. So perhaps Frontier has altered their bag checkers? I heard multiple passengers who were not only frustrated but confused. They had flown with their bags multiple times and had no issue, just like me. One thing I learned after this flight: EMPLOYEES ARE PAID ON COMISSION FOR COLLECTING EXTRA BAGGAGE FEES AT THE GATE. 10%. Fly any other airline - even Spirit, if you really need to save money.

On Dec. 2nd, 2025 we booked 8 flights for a trip in March, 10 days after booking our flights we were notified our departure time for our trip home was changed from 11:00 am to 3:40 pm. Arrival time home went from 1:15 pm to 5:55 pm. We purposely waited until Dec. 2nd to book our flights for cheaper rates. We specifically chose the flight leaving at 11:00 am with Frontier because of the departure time and arrival time home. The 1:15 pm arrival home gave us a 4 hour "cushion" for last minute flight delays, etc..
I contacted Frontier Airlines after receiving the message regarding the flight time change. After waiting on hold for 47 minutes when the call dropped and then waiting on hold for another 38 minutes I was finally able to speak to a customer service representative. I requested that at the very least they discount our tickets due to the large change in times. I was told the best they could do was give me a $75 voucher that is of course on good to use for their airline. I told them I wanted to check for other flights and would call back.
There were other flights that we could have booked on December 2nd that were similar priced and a couple that were cheaper but the arrival times home were between 2 pm and 4 pm, so we chose Frontier's flight with the 1:15 pm arrival time. Of course when I went back to look for those other flights they are now over double the cost they were on Dec. 2nd. We cannot afford to change to any of those flights.
I then tried to contact Frontier Airlines again to ask that they apply the vouchers to the trip that was delayed. I called countless times and waited on hold for countless minutes only to have the call dropped after waiting on hold for excessive amounts of time. On December 29th, I waited for 113 minutes only to have the call drop! Finally, on December 30th (today) I was able to reach a representative. When I asked to have the voucher applied to our flights I was told the voucher was only good for future flights. I explained that we are not likely to use the vouchers since we don't travel via airplane often (I am 48 years old and the upcoming trip will be the 3rd time I have every flown in my lifetime). I was still told the only option was to apply them to a future flight. I asked to speak to a manager, after a couple times of the representative trying to "ignore" my request to speak to a manager, he hung up on me.
I called right back, waited on hold for 16 minutes and the call dropped. I called again, waited on hold for 30 minutes and finally got someone. I again asked to speak to a manager and again was hung up on. I called back again, waited on hold for 46 minutes before a representative answered. I again asked to speak with a manager. She responded by saying she could cancel our flights, and re-book the same flight, apply the vouchers but we would still owe more money (even with the vouchers) than we paid for the flights originally and only then (after cancelling the flights) could she make a note on our cancellation that I want to speak with a manager. It took multiple times of going around and around before I finally got her to NOT cancel our flights, and for her to submit a request for a manager to contact me when they become available.
IF, a manager does contact me and IF they agree to apply the voucher to the flight that THEY changed by 4 hours and 40 minutes, I will change this review and we would consider using Frontier Airlines in the future or would recommend them to others. We understand bad weather and sick pilots can cause unexpected delays that are out of the control of the airline. HOWEVER, we do not understand how an airline can post that a flight is available (3 months out) and 10 days later suddenly know that flight is not available (2.5 months in the future). We feel it is unprofessional and unethical for them to post "a flight" as available, during the one day of the year that the highest amount of flights are purchased in a single day, and then conveniently say that aircraft is no longer available on that day 2.5 months in the future. The same aircraft they said would be available on that day, 10 days prior.
IF they were to apply the $75 voucher to the flight that they say they are compensating us for our inconveniences caused by that flight delay, it would at least show good faith on their part to remedy THAT flight. BUT, giving us a voucher that we can only use by purchasing more from their company (more than the $75 voucher) does not at all seem like they are trying to compensate us for their inability to plan accordingly before they allow people to book flights that do not exist and therefore negatively affect us and our plans that we responsibly planned for.

She offered to do it for me on my phone which I allowed her to. She quickly bypassed all the prompts and at the end it showed “No Carry-On” which I did in fact have one. I pointed this out to her and she replied “no sweetie that’s a personal item.”
She also said “congratulations you just saved $25.” I assumed she knew better than me so I went on my way. While in line to board the aircraft, an employee pulled me out of the line and explained that my bag was larger than permitted for personal use and I needed to pay $99 since I waited until last minute. I was one of the last groups to board so there was no time to explain what happened prior. I had no choice but to pay. This issue could have been avoided had the employee not misguided me.

My problem is when I don’t receive the seat I paid for, and Frontier offers no resolve or compensation other than “we’re deeply sorry.” DON’T USE THIS AIRLINE! Pay a little bit more and use a company that values their customers. Frontier has ruined the flying experience for me.

Dec 22nd. I’m an Active Duty service member and wanted to fly in to see my family. I had booked online with American Forces Travel but didn’t see any military benefits—you had to pay for any baggage other than personal. So I paid for a checked bag and personal bag. I arrived at ATL Airport on a busy and hectic day for Frontier. Our line was wrapped around the kiosk a few times and staff was very rude; almost laughable. When it was my turn to get my ticket, I presented my military ID and that was that; I bought one checked baggage and one carry on through American Forces Travel. However, it was only AFTER that I found out that Frontier offered military benefits like free baggage. I called Frontier and they told me to submit a claim, then their representative, Vishal, told me I could not receive any reimbursement after boarding.
That’s all good except 1) the staff saw my military ID and didn’t explain benefits and 2) didn’t offer a reimbursement. This is so sad. How could customer service be this bad? Summary: I was entitled to 2 free checked bags and 1 free carry on but ended up only bringing 1 checked bag and 1 carry on through my own dime; ie I paid for baggage when it was free to begin with.

The worst airline I have ever encountered. 3 delayed notifications and a cancellation on Christmas day. Missed the birth of my grandson. I had 3 delays and a cancellation at McArthur airport. The agent found me a flight out of JFK so I took a $150 taxi to JFK only to learn she booked me on an overbooked flight. Then they gave me a Jet Blue ticket with 1 layover in Boston, well that didn’t work either because the connecting flight would be gone by the time I arrived to Boston, and entire nightmare. So I was in the airport from 4:30am until 8:30 pm. DO NOT FLY WITH THEM, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A NIGHTMARE! The STAFF ARE Unprofessional and lack compassion.

Flight delayed, then canceled — and the experience only got worse. This is not the first time I’ve had issues with Frontier, but this experience was by far the worst. After a long delay, my flight was ultimately canceled. When I went to the counter for help, the customer service was shockingly rude. The agent at LGA was dismissive and unprofessional, offering no real assistance.
When I expressed concern about being rebooked days later, after Christmas, I was told to “take a train or a bus” if I didn’t like it. To make matters worse, I was also told to “suck it up” because the agent had to work on Christmas anyway. That level of disrespect toward a paying customer is completely unacceptable. What made the situation even more frustrating was learning that Frontier has no partnerships or flexibility with other airlines to help passengers find alternate flights. When cancellations happen, customers are simply left stranded with no real options or support.
Flight disruptions happen, but how an airline treats people during those moments matters. Frontier showed no empathy, accountability, or professionalism. This experience made it clear that customer care is not a priority for this airline. I strongly caution others before booking. No amount of savings is worth being treated this way.

The flight was original scheduled to depart at 2:14 pm, and I even paid for a seat upgrade…. Upon arrival … after boarding the flight we waited on the tarmac for 2 /hours. Only for us to be told that we will be heading back to the gate. Now I’ve had this happen to me before and if my day ended there it wouldn’t have been a problem. At this time it was around 4:30pm. We deplaned after getting multiple alarming excuses, in the climate we’ve been in with airplane issues hearing that the flaps were left open and yet we were set to take off is concerning.
Additionally we were told that staff was late which added to the delays and confusion. After many miscommunication they finally canceled the flight. I NEEDED to get home 12/23/25 so I opted to take the flight to Newark, which eventually resulted in me taking an uber to NYC. This new flight was scheduled for 10:40. I was stranded in the airport all day. Again, if this was the end, things wouldn’t be so bad HOWEVER after waiting all that time an HOUR before boarding I was told there’s a gate change. I had to run to the other side of the airport to get there. Then I was screamed at by staff members while trying to get answers, only to find out the seat that I paid extra for doesn’t even exist. This was by far the most expensive, me having to buy not only lunch but dinner in the airport, but traumatizing experience.

And when you could have rebooked it immediately if there was a card issue, they wait until you check in to find out it was cancelled and then REFUSE to honor the price you booked at. Zero customer service. Small space. Gate agents are rude, I’ve watched them act like children lashing out on flyers.

Airline is ridiculous. They lure you in with lower prices and then after booking (and not long before it's time to fly), surprise! Extra baggage fees. Normal airlines include it in the price so that's the assumption when booking. Paid an extra 150 for baggage, round trip. Then boarding passes. Surprise! You also pay 25 Dollars for a boarding pass. Another 50 Dollars in fees, round trip. Also, most airlines allow 50 pounds before additional fees apply. Frontier is 40 pounds. So good luck on that.
Seats were awful. It was like sitting on a concrete wall. Not even water during a 2.25 hour trip and you're crammed like sardines. This is after hearing the airplane sounds and saying five prayers mid air, hoping you make it alive to your destination and praying the wheels don't fall off the plane during landing. Turbulence. Just an added bonus. I almost swore the pilot enjoyed flying through the clouds and made a mission to do so. Cherry on top. Skip Frontier. You will actually pay more in the end. With other airlines, and at least you'll get peanuts and don't need to change your clothes after the flight. Bring a fresh pair of clothes with you if you're using Frontier. You will need to purchase a seat for each buttcheek. One cheek seat. Nuff said.

When I got to the airport everything was fine we boarded at the correct time we even made it to the runway at that time the captain made an announcement that there was mechanical issues and we had to turn around. Yes I agree that was the best decision to make because that would have been dangerous to fly and put everybody's life at risk. Now we were told all passengers were told to hang out they should have another flight ready for them by 10:00 p.m., well 10:00 p.m. Came and then they were told that the flight was completely canceled to go to customer service or to go home and call the airlines to reschedule your flight.
Well here we are today I called the airlines first thing this morning, I was told there was no flights out today the only flight they had was Christmas Eve and I would leave at 6:30 in the morning and I wouldn't arrive in Florida until 5:00 p.m. That night with two layovers and they wanted to charge me an additional $200 on top of what I had already paid.

Frontier Airlines – Seeking Assistance for Theft From Checked Bag. I’m hoping someone from Frontier Airlines can help me. On December 8, I flew LAX → DFW and checked a bag containing a factory-sealed bottle of custom tequila I brought back from Mexico. When I got home, the bottle’s tamper-proof seal had been cut open, and about 75% of the contents were gone. This was not leakage or damage — the seal was deliberately cut.
I reported this immediately, but my claim was denied with a generic response that “alcohol is restricted,” even though this was a theft/pilferage incident, not a damaged alcohol claim. I attempted to escalate through chat, but the conversation was closed without an investigation. I now have a DOT complaint and TSA inquiry open, but I’m hoping Frontier will take this seriously and assist directly. Who can I speak with to review this properly? Case ID: **. Thank you — I appreciate any help from someone who can look into this.

Minus 5 if it was possible. On Friday, 12/5/2025, I was scheduled to fly from Miami International back to Austin on Frontier flight #F94123, confirmation number: **. I went to Miami to support a close friend whose husband passed unexpectedly at the age of 57. I arrived on Tuesday on an American flight, with no issues. It was a tough time, and I was anxious to get home. The return frontier flight was scheduled to leave at 7:30 AM Miami time on Friday 12/5.
I arrived at the airport by 5:15 am and headed to the counter to check in. Mary, the agent at the Frontier counter seemed to already be having a trying day, I said good morning and asked to be checked in for the 7:30 flight to Austin. I presented her with my valid ID and credit card as I was trying to check in a bag too big for a carry-on. First, she said she cannot check me in because she cannot print a boarding pass and luggage tag, but she charged me $104.00 for the bag. She then said she cannot check me in because there is a security issue in the computer attached to me and preventing her from checking me in and to step away from the counter. I asked if she could help me or call her supervisor to resolve the issue, she said she called her supervisor to find out what they can do, I need to step away from the counter.
I call customer service, 1-8014019000, and got Sheila. She tries to help me get the boarding pass on the website, but we keep getting an error message. Sheila asks to speak to Mary who refuses to take the call, she ignores me, repeatedly tells me to step away from the counter, rudely, and she helps other customers. Now my voice is getting louder, and I am demanding to speak to her supervisor. It turns out her supervisor has been standing next to her all this time watching this exchange unfold, her name was Atinea or something like that. She finally identifies herself as the supervisor, and begins to tell me how she cannot help me? Well, who can? Where is the TSA Office, where is Airport Security? Can you call them over? What is the process?
Atinea or whatever her name was takes my phone to speak to Sheila. She proceeds to tell Sheila, the customer Service rep on the phone, that there is a security issue in the computer preventing them from checking me in. They all tell me I will not be boarding this or any other flights until the issue is resolved. I ask again, how do I resolve this issue, I must get home. Thank God, at this point a Sergeant with Miami Dade Sheriff's department at MIA comes by and asksme what is going on. I tell him everything that has transpired and that I just got to Miami on Tuesday, with no issue, and that I have been a TSA pre-check for many years. I travel on regular basis and never had an experience like this. One of his officers, Officer **, joins us, and listens to the story. He takes my ID's (Driver's License and US Passport card) and goes to the TSA office to check if there is a problem.
I am still standing talking with the Sergeant whose name I neglected to get, he was so patient and kind, when Officer ** returns & tell us, me and the Sergeant, that there is no TSA or security problem. Officer ** goes behind the counter to speak to the Frontier Agents. Meanwhile, Sheila, customer service, on the phone refuses to refund my ticket, said she can only give me a credit, as if after this contemptible treatment I would use this airline ever again? I got charged for the seat and the bag. I still need to get home, the incredibly noble & kind Sergeant finds a flight on American, leaving at 8:30 AM. He asks Officer **, to drive me to the American airlines terminal where I buy a ticket, board and get home with no problems or issues. Of course that cost me another $300 plus dollars.
In conclusion: - Frontier and its staff are terrible. They are quick to take your money, without providing service or the seat you paid for. They will not support you if you have a problem, and certainly will not refund your ticket when they refuse to serve you even when they are wrong. - The Agents, Mary and Atinea at MIA were unprofessional and unhelpful. It was clear they treat Frontier clients with contempt, disrespect, and disdain. I guess they hate their jobs. Maybe their poor treatment of the customers is a reflection of how Frontier treats them. - Sheila, the agent on the phone, tried a little to be helpful, but was quick to give up and say not my problem. She was also quick to tell me, "Your ticket is non-refundable, I will issue you a credit." - Beware of predatory business practices and policies when you fly, some of these airlines are getting away with very unsavory behavior.

I have never left a review for any business. I am writing this one because I want to save others from going through the same experience with Frontier Airlines. When I arrived at the bag check kiosk, my reservation number was not accepted. I waited in line to speak to a staff member. Of course, there was only one person working. She was visibly flustered, as anyone would be in the all-too-familiar corporate scenario of staffing the fewest possible number of people for the greatest possible number of tasks.
When I finally got to speak with her, she told me that my tickets were cancelled. I asked why. She said my account was flagged as fraudulent. Spoiler alert: it’s not. I told her I was never notified of this. She told me there was nothing she could do. Because I was now running late due to the long wait in line, I had no choice but to purchase another ticket.
When I got to my destination, my bag did not arrive. I traveled for work, and everything I needed for work was in my bag. After an hour of waiting and traveling to other baggage stations, it became obvious that my luggage was lost. I went to visit Frontier’s baggage office. No one was there. I went to visit Frontier’s ticket desk. No one was there. I tried calling a service line provided by an airport official. No one picked up. I finally got hold of someone who gave me a tracking number for my bag and told me to keep an eye on it.
I read online that staff members are only on site two hours before a flight arrives, so I woke up at 5 a.m. and drove an hour and a half back to the airport to catch someone during the small window they would be available. As before, only one baggage checker was staffed for the day. This time, a supervisor was also available. I explained my situation to the supervisor, and she typed some things into a computer and said I would get a call from Frontier soon.
The next day, I got a call from Frontier. They said they found my bag. It never left its original location. They said they would ship it back to me. I asked when, explaining that my entire career was on hold until I had it. They said they didn’t know, but that it should be on the next flight later that day and that someone would call me.
No one called me. The tracking app told me my luggage was in transit, but by the end of the day, it still hadn’t arrived. Another day passed. I checked my tracking number again. The link no longer worked. I called the customer service line again, and they told me to call Frontier’s bag check area at the airport. I told the customer service rep that almost every time I try to contact Frontier at the airport, no one is working. She gave me an exact time to call, so I called. And called. And called. Predictably, no one answered.
I am now several days without my luggage, several days behind on the job I came here to complete, and must drive back down to the airport again and hope I bump into someone during the time they are supposed to be working. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any so-called company. Frontier’s business model is emblematic of how corporations continue to innovate new and exciting ways to hate their customers and staff. It's exhausting. I know that this review – and the thousands like it that make up Frontier’s abysmal approval ratings - will not impact Frontier in any way.

Flight 4547, November 26, 2025 — Atlanta → Los Angeles. I fly a lot, but this was my first time choosing this airline — and it will definitely be the last. Yesterday, on my second long flight of the day, I was seated by the window next to the emergency exit. I was extremely tired, and my phone battery had died. Because the aircraft didn’t even have a USB port, I politely asked a flight attendant if there was any way to charge my phone. I was refused — which I could understand — but what happened next was absolutely unacceptable.
When the steward heard my strong ** accent, his attitude changed immediately. He told me that the emergency exit row was “reserved for native speakers” because he wasn’t sure I would understand instructions in case of an emergency. This is blatant discrimination. I objected, but he insisted and moved me to the back of the plane against my will. As a result, I had no proper space and no assistance with my backpack, which I had to place at my feet because no one helped me return it to the overhead bin.
To make matters worse, the flight attendant who initiated all of this was not wearing a name badge. He is easy to recognize: a young man with curly shoulder-length hair and glasses. When I asked two female crew members for his name after landing, they claimed they “didn’t know,” even though they clearly worked on the same team. Discrimination based on nationality or accent is illegal and unacceptable in the aviation industry. I will never fly with this airline again, and I will make sure to share my experience so other passengers are aware of how unprofessionally and disrespectfully some crew members behave.

I keep trying to give Frontier a chance. Truly. I have flown with them multiple times and every single experience has felt like stepping into an experiment where the theme is frustration. Flight cancellations without warning. Flights delayed overnight with no gate, no information, no apologies. Customer service that feels like a maze built out of hold music and broken chat windows. Hours spent trying to get a real answer, only to get a voucher for fifty to seventy five dollars that can only be used on future Frontier flights. That is like getting a coupon to return to the same restaurant that gave you food poisoning.
The planes feel tired. The operations feel chaotic. It is impossible to tell if anything is on schedule or if anyone at the airline actually knows what is happening. Tonight it was a mechanical issue, again. No clear communication at LAX. No signage directing passengers to the shuttle to the international terminal, which is a long ride if you are coming from Burbank. Frontier simply does not tell customers what they need to know to make smart decisions. Families with kids, people with jobs, travelers with tight schedules deserve better than this level of silence.
Frontier’s prices look cheap, but the cost backfires when they strand you overnight with no plan and hand you a coupon that only works if you decide to roll the dice again. My advice is simple. You get what you pay for, and sometimes you get even less. If you are considering flying Frontier, understand that you are buying a ticket for uncertainty and frustration. There is no reliability. There is no real customer support. There is only damage control and excuses. I am done giving them chances.

Our son was traveling from Portland to Denver the day before Thanksgiving. He checked in for his flight 6 hours in advance and got his boarding pass. He got to the gate, and the flight had departed 11 minutes early. Frontier arranged for him to take a later flight at no charge, but instead of a 3.5-hour non-stop flight, his flight will be 11 hours with a stop. He will arrive at 4 AM on Thanksgiving Day instead of at 7:30 PM the evening before. We will never fly Frontier again.

So. I believe that I was scammed by Frontier. I was at the airport 2.5 hours early. Received my ticket. I got to the gate with 45 mins to spare and was told that I had missed the flight. Upon trying to get on the next flight I was told that I would have to pay for that flight again. I was also charged $104 for my carry on. I simply gave up. I just won't fly with them again.

No way, no how would I ever book this airline again. Pay the higher fares for other airlines, or drive. Their 100$ voucher doesn’t begin to cover the 1,000$ extra flights I had to pay.

This airline turned what should’ve been a simple Denver-to-San Diego getaway into a full-scale disaster. Frontier failed us at every step with a level of indifference so astounding it borders on contempt. We arrived at our gate before the boarding cutoff. The agent — rude, dismissive, and openly unprofessional — refused to acknowledge the time, refused to call a supervisor, refused to give her name, and then literally hid behind her monitor before vanishing. When we finally located a supervisor, he made it clear he felt no obligation to help us at all. Only after pressing did he begrudgingly book us for a flight the next morning — forcing us to miss our car rental and be charged the full amount despite never using it.
When we finally reached San Diego, our trip unraveled even further. We paid more than double for a replacement rental… and then discovered our luggage never arrived. Neither the Denver nor San Diego Baggage Service Office could locate it. Our vacation was already crippled, but now we were forced to buy clothes, toiletries, medication replacements, and essentials we had packed — thousands of dollars in unexpected expenses piled on because Frontier could not perform the basic task of delivering a checked bag.
The next morning, Denver BSO told us they “had eyes on the bag” and would send it on the next flight. That flight came and went. No bag. No updates. No accountability. Just a constant runaround between more than 50 calls to BSO offices, Customer Service, and Central Baggage Services in Atlanta — each department redirecting us to another with zero resolution.
When we attempted to file a claim online, Frontier’s own system blocked us due to a Voluntary Separation (VSUP) being placed on our luggage without our knowledge or consent. It took an email to the corporate office in Denver just to get the system unlocked. The online claim process took seven hours to complete… only for Frontier to deny it almost instantly. To call this unacceptable is an understatement.
And as if the nightmare wasn’t complete, Frontier oversold our return flight home and casually told me they’d refund my ticket and I could “figure it out” myself — or take a 17-hour connecting route. Only the kindness and competence of the San Diego check-in agents got me home. Frontier themselves certainly didn’t. At this point, words barely capture our disgust. Our new family rule is simple: If Frontier is the only way to get there, we are not going. Period. Never again will we give Frontier the chance to treat us — or anyone in our family — with this level of negligence, disrespect, and outright disregard. For an airline that calls itself “the best in the industry,” the only accurate response is bitter laughter. An abomination of an experience from end to end.

I was researching flight prices on Kayak. I found a flight that looked good with Frontier. Then I went to the Frontier Airlines website to double-check the flight prices and conditions and possibly book that flight. Once I was on the Frontier Airlines website I was prompted to open an account complete with address and credit card information before I could even look at any flights. I did enter my information. I did some flight research and decided after all not to book the flight because of flight times, luggage restrictions, etc. So I closed the website. I received several emails from Frontier about creating an account, password and one email about some Mileage Elite Challenge. I was unaware that I entered a Mileage Elite challenge and the email also did not say anything about paying a $99 fee.
The next day I checked my credit card (like I do every morning) and saw that Frontier charged me $99. Then I contacted their customer service right away online and ask them what this charge is. They told me it is for the Mileage Elite Status challenge and that they cannot refund the money, even though I told them that I was unaware of purchasing any product from them and that it happened within 24 hours.
I have never experienced anything like this before. I still do not know how and where on the website this happened. It must have been when I was forced to open my account for the website. I also have never experienced that I am not allowed to cancel this and get a refund for telling the service provider right away that it was unintentionally. This clearly looks like a scam to me. I have never flown with Frontier or booked a flight with them, so why would I pay for some frequent flyer program? And why does a frequent flyer program cost something to begin with? They clearly trick their customers into buying a useless service. I fully expect a refund for this!

My recent trip with Frontier Airlines (Des Moines → Denver → Seattle, October 12, 2025) was an absolute nightmare — not just because of how chaotic and humiliating the boarding process was, but because of how dishonestly the airline handled it afterward. It started at the Denver gate, where an agent suddenly announced that the flight needed 90 volunteers to check their carry-on bags. Ninety. The entire gate area fell silent. Frontier doesn’t even include carry-ons in the base fare — they’re an extra cost — so how could they oversell them by that much? It made no sense. Instead of organizing a process to fix it, the agents just proceeded with boarding as if everything were normal.
I had paid extra for a premium seat and Group 1 boarding, specifically to board early and secure overhead space. But as soon as my boarding pass was scanned, I was stopped at a locked door leading to the tarmac. The gate agents kept scanning more people anyway, funneling everyone into a tight, airless hallway with no direction, no communication, and no way to turn around. Dozens of passengers were crammed shoulder-to-shoulder, waiting for nearly 20 minutes in the heat and confusion. When the door finally opened, we were herded down the ramp and made to stand on the tarmac again — this time for another long stretch while agents assisted passengers in wheelchairs. It was loud, disorganized, and nobody knew what was going on. That’s when things got even worse.
A rude gate agent walked up to my partner and me and abruptly announced that he was checking our carry-on bags. Not asking — telling. I explained that my bag contained my late father’s death certificates and personal belongings. He didn’t care. I was so desperate to protect those items that I ended up opening my suitcase on the tarmac, kneeling down to pull out my father’s documents and keepsakes while the line of passengers stood watching. It was humiliating, chaotic, and deeply distressing. Only after I became visibly upset did the agent finally say, “Fine, whatever,” and allow me to board with my bag.
The flight itself was no better — the crew seemed irritated and disengaged, snapping at passengers, offering no warmth or professionalism whatsoever. That alone was enough to ensure I’d never fly Frontier again. But what happened afterward was even more outrageous. When I filed a complaint, Frontier lied in writing, claiming I had received an email days earlier offering to check my carry-on, that I had “accepted” the change, and that my bag was “checked as agreed.” Every word of that is false. I never received such an email, I never accepted any change, and my bag was never checked. I pointed this out clearly — yet Frontier responded again with a canned message ignoring the lies entirely, hiding behind vague “policies,” and refusing to acknowledge or correct the false statements.
What started as a stressful, disorganized flight became a months-long exercise in dishonesty and corporate gaslighting. Frontier’s behavior — both at the gate and in their written responses — has been deceptive, unprofessional, and completely devoid of empathy. If you value your time, your dignity, or the truth, do yourself a favor and never fly Frontier Airlines.

Deceptive pricing model. I paid for my flight first—only afterward did they reveal that it would cost another $70 each way just to bring a carry-on. They lure you in with a low fare, then the bag ends up costing more than the seat. Why does it cost more to bring a bag than to bring a person? They’re also completely non-transparent about delays. I arrived early after confirming there were no delays—rep on the phone even said they’d notify customers a day in advance if anything changed. All signs said “on time” until boarding, when they suddenly announced a four-hour delay. Once we finally boarded, they announced another hour delay—with everyone already trapped on the plane. Treat your customers with honesty and respect, and maybe they’ll come back. I won’t.

I purchased round trip tickets to Orlando for a cruise we are taking in Jan 2026. I received a notification that the flight out of Columbus, Oh was delayed 2 hours and 45 minutes. This caused me to worry as that meant we would arrive in Orlando, Fl after midnight. We planned to Uber and stay at a hotel close to Port Canaveral to board the cruise ship the next day at 3pm. I know the Uber will cost more after midnight. I also thought if there is ice on the plane or bad weather I should see what alternate flights Frontier had available. I became panicked as there were none the day before and only one the day after in late afternoon which meant we would miss the cruise.
I read online if an airline changes your flights 3 hours or more you are entitled to a full refund. I kind of figured that was exactly why the change was shy of 3 hours difference. I called their customer service number and explained the situation to the representative and he refused to offer a refund. He said the policy is only credit vouchers good for 12 months. I again explained that does not help me now since I needed the refund to pay for another airline’s tickets. I asked to speak to a manager and let him know that someone can do this for me. I would be more than happy to fly Frontier in the future if I get this refund but if I do not I will NEVER use Frontier. The agent insisted that even a supervisor can not issue a refund as it is impossible to do unless the delay was 3 hours or greater.
I was about to call my credit card company to ask them to do a charge back but I thought I would use Frontier’s Chat which is through WhatsApp. I was lucky enough to be connected to Avanti! This person was professional, kind and empathetic. I was issued a full refund and my anxiety was instantly relieved! I was extremely grateful and asked specifically for his/her name so that I could write this review. My hope is this person will be recognized for excellent customer service that is very rare anymore. Thank you SO much Avanti! The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the first representative I spoke to over the phone.

We moved through security without any issues. Once boarding at the gate, we were denied access onto the plane due to a “faulty boarding pass”, blinking red upon scanning. We were told to step aside and wait for a supervisor as the gate agent was not able to help us. After waiting ~1 hour for a supervisor (our flight long gone at this point), the supervisor appeared confused as we were indeed checked in and our luggage was on it’s way to our destination (indicative of successful check-in per the agent).
We called Frontier to no avail; I was told there isn’t an official phone number or email to file a complaint with Frontier. A refund was issued after looping in an Expedia agent. However, this refund does not cover the cost of two last minute flights (delaying our trip by 24 hours) along with the additional transport to and from the airport (~1 hour each way) and separation from our luggage.

The exact same bag that cost $0 on the flight here, that easily fit under the seat and was covered in the price of the ticket.
Additionally, I paid $54 in advance for a checked bag for her. Upon arriving at the airport one hour in advance of the flight (i.e. 5:30 am), there were no agents at the check-in counter. All of the other airlines had attendants available to help passengers, except Frontier Airlines. We were told the agents were at the gate, where she could check the bag. However, she was not able to pass through TSA security with the bag, as it was "too large". The bag contained key personal items that she was not able to take back to AZ.
We were informed by some rude people in the Frontier office by baggage claim that we needed to be at the airport two hours before departure to check the bag, which would have been 4:30 am. TSA was not even open at that time. Per the rude employees, this information is on the website. However, it clearly was not readily available information to consume when I paid for the checked bag.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My flight was delayed for over 6 hours, and throughout the entire time, Frontier was not honest with customers about what was happening. Instead of clear updates, we got vague or misleading information, which made the experience even more frustrating. The service was terrible – staff were unhelpful and dismissive, and no real effort was made to accommodate passengers after such a long delay. It felt like they just didn’t care. Flying is already stressful enough, and Frontier made it worse. I would not recommend this airline to anyone looking for reliability or decent customer service.

I flew Frontier Airlines for company business but paid for my seats and luggage with my personal cc. On the way to my destination, the gate agents asked for volunteers to check bags instead of carry on. So I volunteered, the agent said I would get my money back $59.00. I have filled out all the information and still nothing. Since my company did not pay for my seats or luggage I filled out the forms with my personal email. They are telling me now that since the email was not sent from the company. I can’t get my money back.. BAD, BAD company. They charge for snacks and drinks too. Nickel and diming the passengers at every turn. NEVER AGAIN.

My apologies if this is a struggle to read; my mental bandwidth is gone with being stranded in Baltimore (I'm from northern Colorado) on my way to Ohio for arguably the most important moment of my best friend's life. I am a disabled veteran, unable to work due to a laundry list of struggles and injuries. I finally scrounged together just enough money for a flight to celebrate this irreplaceable moment with my best friend, only to get my flight to Detroit from Baltimore (layover from Denver) cancelled. Frontier staff in the airport simply pointed at a QR code to scan to change flights/request refund.
Three things have happened when I put my information into the link (last name and reservation code): they couldn't find my reservation, I could look at alternative flight with no flights listed, or that Business Headquarters Location 4545 Airport Way, Denver, CO 80239-5716. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the BBB assigned to your complaint: BBB Great West + Pacific 2340 S. Eagle Rd Meridian, ID 83642 208-994-6896. Continued on next Page adjustments has already been made and nothing further could be done.
Problem: I never made adjustments. The only information that I got from a desk clerk was that there is a flight leaving tomorrow (9/20) and arriving Sunday (9/21). I was supposed to land 9/21 in the evening to get to experience this irreplaceable moment in time. They've offered me a $150 voucher and a partial refund for the unused portion of my trip, and one meal voucher. The problem is that I've lost at least one day of my life sitting in an airport, with no end in sight because I can't just but another ticket until I'm refunded.
I could be sitting here a week. All of the progress I have made through the VA to heal my mind and heart from PTSD, severe depression and anxiety, social ideation, addiction, trauma, etc. is slipping in real-time as I have failed to show up for this man who would drop everything to show up for me. The emotional toll that I can already feel sinking it's fangs in is going to take more than I have left to give to recover from. I get one meal on them and get to be homeless (again), until I can afford to fly home. What a soul-destroying experience.

We arrived at DIA Saturday morning. The airport was packed to the gills. They only had ONE agent to check the bags with a big line to boot. They didn’t put my TSA info on my boarding pass which created a lot of problems when trying to get through security. The gate was the VERY LAST gate out on the back nine! We ran as fast as we could. We were 3 minutes late. They wouldn’t let us board. There was even a man in front of us WITH A BABY who they also denied boarding because they were 2 minutes late!!
They could have easily let us 5 passengers on. I suspect they gave up the seats to make more money. I had to rebook a different flight 12 hours later to a different destination. We are sitting in a lounge at DIA which cost us $270 to sit for 12 hours, $280 additional for the different flight. We have no idea where the checked bag is? I have had NOTHING but BAD EXPERIENCE with Frontier Airlines. Not mention all the nickels and dime fees. Their website is HORRIBLE. DO NOT FLY ON THIS AIRLINE-if you know what’s good for you! You WILL NOT save any money and I can guarantee you will be frustrated/angry/disappointed!
